Tiny chapel on Bede House Lane, the only survivor of a group of almshouses built by William Phillipot c1557

The former Bede House Chapel, now Newark Odinist Temple, is on the right. It dates from about 1556 and stood at the centre of contemporary bedehouses (almshouses). the large building on the left is Barnbygate Methodist church of about 1845.

Dating from around 1556, it is the sole surviving remnant of a group of almshouses built in the 16th century. The chapel is recorded in the will of William Phillipot dated March 1885 as having been recently built at his own expense. Listed Grade II

The southern end of Bede House Lane and its junction with Barnby Gate provides a view of the former Bedehouse chapel with its immediate neighbours, i.e. Barnbygate Methodist Church to the right and the red-brick corner of Bede House Court, a Methodist retirement complex. This open plan Grade II-listed stone-built former chapel - circa early C15th - has been used in the past as a volunteers’ recruitment centre but is currently empty. This former chapel seems likely to have been the original bedehouse (or almshouse). It was founded on 18th March 1558, through the will of William Philpott, "for the continued ease, funding and lodging of five poor men." In the C19th the chamberlains (or treasurers) used a surplus of funds to enlarge the bedehouse to accommodate 15 individuals - five of whom were women. The buildings formed a quadrangle. One large building of two storeys occupied the East and South wings, while the North was enclosed by a wall and this former chapel.
